last yearIt's number fluency. We teach these skills to young kids to help with basic fact fluency. Indicates a deeper understanding of math operations as opposed to simply memorizing basic facts. I've heard some people who were raised in the era of memorizing facts refer to it as 'new math' and a waste of time but it's not. It significantly impacts success with math in older grades.

It's an effective method. With young kids we teach doubles first. 4+4, 8+8 then go through doubles + or - 1 then doubles + or - 2. When you can see patterns in math it makes more sense also being taught to see numbers visually in different ways with objects such as base 10 blocks, number line, counters organized in different ways. All helps to build neural pathways in the brain that reinforce concepts so they stick.

3 years agoOh shit didn’t know that was my adhd. I always knew I was a low functioning ADHDer not medicated but I never really knew that I was a low functioning ADHDer until I was out in the world all alone as an adult and holy hell, everything I am, do, love, hate, everything can be traced back to my adhd. It’s fricking nuts
